An Ounce of Prevention
You may have heard the saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We agree.Preventing problems in the first place is always the best option. Like well-baby doctor visits or your annual physical, proactive and preventive care can help catch issues in the early stages so that they don’t become full-blown problems.
This is true regarding pests in your home, too.
Even if you can’t see them, you may have unwanted pests lurking about in your home. Hiring a pest control company now lets you deal with them before the issue gets larger and out of hand, which it can do rapidly with certain types of pests.
When the Situation Demands Immediate Treatment
If it has already gotten to the point of seeing pests frequently or seeing evidence of them (like droppings, tracks, webs, etc.), there is absolutely no time to waste. Your situation demands the “pound of cure” immediately and you should not delay in hiring a pest control company right away.It may be tempting to ignore the problem and hope that it goes away on its own. But it won’t.
Pests in the home can put your family’s health and safety at risk. They can also cause expensive property damage. They need to be dealt with. And it’s best to hire a pest control company and leave it to professionals with experience and expertise to properly (and safely) treat the problem.
It’s especially imperative to call a professional when removing rodents and pests that could be dangerous. When in doubt, call a professional for guidance.

Risks to Your Property from Pests in Your Home

The simplest answer to “how does pest control work?” is that it “controls” unwanted pests in your home by exterminating them, removing them, and preventing them from coming back.
Rather than doing any of these things in isolation by itself, the most effective pest control takes an “integrated pest management” approach that incorporates various methods to accomplish all three goals.
Pest control works by using a variety of treatment methods — chemical pesticides, natural measures, preventive best practices, baits and traps, and exclusionary steps, to name a few.
The goal of each of these methods is to get rid of unwanted pests that are currently invading your home and then keep them from returning.
A pest control professional will evaluate your current situation before recommending any sort of treatment. The proper treatment method for any situation must be based on both the pests present and your lifestyle and preferences.
Extermination reduces the population of unwanted pests in your home by spraying an active ingredient in strategic areas and/or placing active ingredient bait in spots where the pests will be attracted to it but where it is safely away from your family and pets.
Removal includes trapping and removing live pests, as well as removing dead pests … which can be just as unpleasant and dangerous. It’s safest and most efficient to have a pest control professional handle removing pests.
Professional pest control prevention treatment can include spraying an active ingredient to repel pests from entering your home or property, as well as sealing up cracks and other entry points into your home.
Keeping your home clean and properly storing food are additional prevention tactics that you can do yourself.
The first step in effective pest control is evaluating the situation and identifying the pests that need to be taken care of. Proper identification is key to effective treatment.
